DSM technology kicking the shit out of EVERYTHING


« on: June 15, 2010, 06:28:12 PM »

I was looking around to find a cure for lifter noise and came acroos this, http://www.proffittracing.com/dsmoiltable.html

I think the best way would be swapping them with 3g lifters but some have luck with different oil type/grade.

I have tried thinner and thicker before, and its not a huge difference either way.  In the hot parts of the summer the thicker was better, but normally the thinner was quieter, if I remember correctly.
